Looking for inspiration! Super fit who gained a lot of weight?

Question

Does anyone have any stories where you were super fit (possibly less than 20% bodyfat) before pregnancy then you gained a massive amount of weight during your pregnancy? I’m talking 50-100 lbs. I just want to see someone who’s in the same boat as I am and who has been able to get back to (or even close to) prepregnancy body.

Pre-pregnancy...dec 2018.

Post-pregnancy dec 2019.

Answer

Bodybuilder and personal trainer here 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m pregnant with baby #3. I gained 65lb with my first, 70lbs with my second and currently gained about 27lbs with this one so far. I’m 26 weeks along. I was 15% body fat when I got pregnant. I always gain a ton and fast during pregnancy. I eat healthy with the occasion treat on the weekend...nothing crazy different than my pre-pregnancy diet. My OB told me that all women have different weight needs during pregnancy. My body likes the extra squish while pregnant apparently. I’m healthy and so is my baby. I always lost the weight within 5-7 months after. Don’t stress about it. I get super self conscious sometimes, but then I eat a cinnamon roll and feel better 🤣
